What You Can Type With Russkopis

Russkopis covers the full alphabet in upper and lowercase, plus all ten numbers, so you can set names, dates and prices without switching fonts. Everyday marks like &, !, ? and @ are there too. It has 1 accented letters, but not the full set for Spanish or French, so test any non-English words first. On top of that, it includes Cyrillic characters.

How to Use the Alternate Letters in Russkopis

Its 30 alternates are stored as separate characters, so you can copy them from Character Map on Windows or Font Book on a Mac and paste them anywhere, including Cricut Design Space and Canva. Its ligatures switch on by themselves in most design apps: certain letter pairs join into one specially drawn shape.

Where Russkopis Works Best

Russkopis is a natural fit for posters, logos and eye-catching headlines. Its lowercase letters are tall compared to the capitals, which keeps it readable at smaller sizes. The file has no kerning data, so in logos and big titles check pairs like AV, To and Wa and tighten the spacing by hand. Use it for one standout word or headline and let simpler fonts handle the rest.
